Having the largest and most complete stock of Mathematical, Engineering 
and Surveying Instruments in the United States, we are enabled to furnish all 
goods mentioned herein, of the best quality, and at the lowest prices. 

In ordering from this Catalogue it is only necessary to mention this edition 
and to give the number of the Instrnment or article desired. 

The prices mentioned will be strictly adhered to, except when large quan- 
tities are ordered. 

"TERMS CASH. 

The safest and best method of remitting money, is by a Bank Draft or Post 
Office Money Order, made payable to my order. Money Orders can now be 
obtained for a small sum at most all Post Offices in the United States. When 
neither of these can be procured, United States, or National Bank Notes, or 
Postage Stamps, may be remitted by Registered Letter, or sent by express. 

When no satisfactory Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York references is 
given by the party ordering the goods, the money must accompany the order, 
or if preferred, the goods will be sent by Express, C. O. D. (collect on 
delivery), provided the order is accompanied with a remittance of Five 
Dollars, and when the order comes from West of the Mississippi, the order 
must be accompanied by a remittance of Ten Dollars. The object of this is 
to insure the goods being taken, as we have frequently sent goods by Express 
which have not been taken out of the office, and have had to pay freight and 
charges both ways. 

The charge for collecting and returning the money will be added to 
the bill. 

Articles of glass can only be sent by mail at full letter rates, namely, four 
cents per ounce. Merchandise, not glass, can be sent unsealed, at one cent 
per ounce. 

Goods ordered to be sent by mail must be prepaid, and the return postage 
included in the remittance. 

All goods sold by us, are warranted in perfect order, but we assume no 
responsibility for breakage or other damage, after a package leaves our store. 

Packing boxes will be charged at cost, and all goods will be packed with 
the utmost care.

FOR: 



This Blue Process, now extensively used in the Drawing-Rooms of our 
most prominent Railroads, in Engineers' and Architects' Offices, saves not only 
much labor and expense, but a great deal of weariness to the junior drafts- 
man, to whose lot it usually falls to make copies or tracings of drawings. 
The manipulations required are of the simplest possible kind, and are en- 
tirely within the skill and comprehension of any office-boy who can be trust- 
ed to copy a letter in an ordinary press. These particulars are as follows : 

1. Provide a flat board as large as the tracing which is to be copied, or 
better, a photographic frame specially made for the purpose. 

2. Lay on this board two or three thicknesses of common blanket, or its 
equivalent, to give a slightly yielding backing for the paper. 

3. Lay on the blanket the prepared paper with the sensitive side uppermost. 

4. Lay on this paper the tracing, smoothing it out as perfectly as possible, 
so as to insure a perfect contact with the paper. 

5. Lay on the tracing a plate of clear glass, which should be heavy enough 
to press the tracing close down upon the paper. Ordinary plate glass of ^ 
inch thickness is quite sufficient. 

6. Expose the whole to a clear sunlight, by pushing it out on a shelf from 
an ordinary window, or in any other convenient way. In bright sunlight 

LIKE MIDSUMMER, ONLY FOUR MINUTES REQUIRED. A GREAT DEAL DEPENDS 

UPON THE sun's BRIGHTNESS AND HEAT. Frequently when complaints are 
made about prepared paper, often it is not the fault of the paper, 
BUT NOT EXPOSED LONG ENOUGH to develop it. Experience will teach you 
a great deal more than I can. If a clear skylight only can be had, the 
exposure must be continued for thirty to forty-five minutes, and under a 
cloudy sky, sixty to ninety minutes may be needed. 

7. Remove the prepared paper and drench it freely for ten minutes or 
longer, in clear water, and hang it up by one corner to dry. 

The paper should be stored in a dry place, and be entirely shielded from 
the sunHght before being used. 

The paper is of a full yellow or bronze color. After the exposure to the 
light the surface becomes a darker bronze or yellowish gray, and the lines 
of the tracing appear as still darker on the surface. Upon washing the 
paper, the characteristic blue tints appear with the lines of the tracings in 
vivid contrast. 

Such copies can be taken from tracings only, either made on tracing-paper 
or cloth. A very deep black India Ink should be used, as the distinctness 
of the copies depends thereon.

DIRECTIONS FOR USING AMSLER'S POLAR PLANIMETER. 

By means of Amsler's Polar Planimeter, a person entirely ignorant of 
geometry may ascertain the area of any planimetrical figure, no matter how 
irregular its outlines may be, more correctly, and in much shorter time, than the 
most experienced mathematician could calculate it. 

The management of the instrument can be easily learned in half an hour, and 
in size it is no larger than a two-feet folding rule. 

The Planimeter indicates square feet, or square inches, and acres for surveying. 

Directions. — Preparatory to the use of the instrument, ascertain its state. 
The index roller D must play easily, without coming in contact with the nonius 
(or vernier). The screw centres, on which its axis revolves, must be adjusted so 
as to allow perfect freedom of rotation ; the same is to be observed for the centre 
pin C. 

The needle point E ought to project but very little from its socket. Great care 
must be taken not to bend any part of the instrument. 

To ascertain the area of a figure in square inches, slide the square rod A into 
the tube H, so that the line marked 10 sq. in. (10 square inches) stands fair with 
the beveled part of the tube J. Then set the instrument on the paper, so that 
the index roller D, the tracing point F, and the needle point E, rest on the paper ; 
press the latter point a little on the paper — not enough to pierce it through. This 
point is to remain stationery during the whole operation. Set the tracing point P 
on any point P of the outline, and mark that point, and read off the state of the 
counting wheel G, and the index roller D. Suppose the counting wheel indicates 
3 (as in cut), the index roller 905 (90 degrees to be read on the index roller, and 
■^Tj on the nonius), so that the O of the nonius stands on SOj^^^ of the circumfer- 
ence of the index roller. Write down the number just read off thus, 3,905. 

Now follow, with the tracing point F, the outline of the figure, or part of the 
figure to be measured, with great exactness, in the same direction as the hands of 
a watch would move, until you arrive at the starting point. 

Straight lines may be followed along a rule ; then read off again the state of the 
indicators. Suppose you find now 5,763, i. e. the counting wheel indicating 5, 
and the index roller and nonius 76j% degrees. From these two readings, the area 
found is to be obtained, and here two points are to be considered. 

A. If the needle point E is outside of the figure just traced round, the first 
number (3,905) is to be deducted from the second number (5,763). 

5,768 

3,905 and the remainder (1,858) is to 

be multiplied by ten, equal 18.58 ; 

which is the area desired. 1,858 

B. If the needle point E is inside of the outlines of the figure, add to the num- 
ber last read off (5, 763) the number marked on the side of the square rod next to 
where 10 sq. in. is marked on the upper side. 

In this case, it is 20,240, the last number 5,763 read off 

20,240 



26,003 Deduct from this 

amount the number first read off, 3,905 



22,098 Multiply this remainder by 
ten, equal 220,98, and this is the amount of square inches, or area of the measured 
figure. 



11 



It is of no consequence whether the roller moves inside or outside of the out- 
lines of the figure, provided it moves on a smooth surface even with the figure. 

To obtain the area in square feet, slide the square rod into the tube up to the 
line marked 0,1 sq. ft. or 0,05 sq. ft. In this case the difierence between the first 
and second readings of the indicators is to be multiplied by 0,1 or 0,05. If the 
difference, for instance, is 4,653, the rod being up to the line marked 0,1 sq. ft., 
then is 4,653 x 0, 1 = 0,4653 equal to the area in decimal fractions of a square foot. 

If the needle point is within the outlines of the figures as described in B, pro- 
ceed the same way as at B, but multiply by 0,1 or 0,05. 

If the figure to be measured is at a reduced scale, the result has to be multiplied 
by the square of the proportion of the reduction. If the proportion of the figure 
to the full size is as 1 : 10, the result is to be multiplied by 10^ = 100 — for instance : 
the result of the first example is 1,858, which multiplied by 100 (1,858 X 100) = 
1858 sq. inches, would be amount of the area. 

If the amount of acres is to be ascertained, the proportion of the reduction being 
1 : 1000, slide the square rod up to the line marked 2 ac. 1 : 1000, or 1 ac, and 
operate as indicated above : the result is to be multiplied by 1 or 2, instead of 10 
or 5. If the rod is set up to the line marked 1 ac, no multiplication is necessary. 

Should the plan of the piece of land be drawn on a smaller scale than j-^^^ — 
for example, -^7/5 (jth — then multiply the result with the square of the proportion 
of the reduction to the scale of xTnnr- Thus, for the scale of ^j^^j^, the result would 
have to be multiplied by 5 x 5 = 25 (^^^^irths being to xAxrtli as 5 : 1). If the 
scale is ^^^th, multiply the result by ^^ == j, that is to say, divide the result by 4. 

Remark. — If, on reading off the horizontal or counting wheel, G, the indicator 
points near the middle line between two figures, say between 3 or 4, then see how 
the index roller stands to the nonius. If the on the nonius is on the lower side 
of the of the roller, therefore near 100, then read 3 ; but if the on the nonius 
is on the upper side, therefore near on the roller, then read 4 for unity. 

If the horizontal wheel turns on its axis during the tracing operation, so that it 
goes beyond (in fact 10), and even marks several revolutions, and then stops at 
any number — for instance, 7 — you read 17 or 27, «S;c., adding as many times ten 
as the wheel has made full revolutions. 

It is easy to notice the number of revolutions. If the wheel G marks six', and 
the roller D is, for instance, on degrees ^g- degrees, or on 4 degrees -^-^ degrees, 
then the reading is of course 6,007, or 6,047. The number read off the nonius 
always taking the third place after the units. 

The cut shows the actual size of the instrument. 
Price in Box $30 00 

Draftsmen, engineers, surveyors, ship builders, architects, machinists, v/ill 
please devote a few moments only to the examination of this instrument, and they 
will at once be convinced of its great importance and value.

PREPARED SENSITIVE PAPER, 
For Copying Drawings : 

To use the Sensitive Paper, first procure a printing frame, lay the drawing 
faoe down upon the glass, on which place the Sensitive Paper, prepared side down, 
then several thicknesses of cotton flannel for a pad ; if on turning the frame over 
any wrinkles appear open the hinged back and place a piece of paper in order to 
press them out (this should be done in a darkened room), then expose to the sun- 
light for five or ten minutes, depending on the clearness of the day, remove and 
examine in a dark room by opening the back of the frame, if the lines are slightly 
turned in color it has been done properly, remove it and wash in clear water 
with two or three changes, then dry it. 

The paper must be kept in perfect darkness until used.
